After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

April is the most splendid and prosperous season in Luoan City. The city is dotted with peonies, and the warm spring air is full of vitality.

Today is the day when the top three imperial examination candidates parade through the streets, which is held every three years. Therefore, April this year is more lively than in previous years. All the restaurants with good locations along the long street have been picked out by the girls from various mansions at high prices.

However, this year's parade of the top scholar was different from that of previous years. In previous years, the top three candidates in the palace examination would parade through the streets on horseback wearing red flowers on their chests, but this time they were carried forward in sedan chairs.

The best-looking third place winner in previous years seems to be disappointing compared with the first place winner this year.

However, this number one scholar is the second son of the Xun family, and most of the noble daughters in the Divine Capital cannot catch this son-in-law.

"In previous years, the three top officials' horse-riding parade was so vigorous and energetic. This year, the way of carrying sedan chairs is beautiful, but it lacks some vigor after all."

"I heard that it was because the number one scholar Xun had difficulty walking because of his legs. The emperor valued his talent and felt sorry for him because he lost his legs while saving the king, so he decided to ask the Ministry of Rites to change this custom."

"Alas, what a pity! At your age and with such talent, will Lord Xun have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair?"

"With his family background and abilities, even if he can't stand up in this life, he can still marry and have children. His future is much better than what we are waiting for."

"Hey, look at the person escorting the top three through the streets, isn't that Shen Jinmo?"

Xie Nanxing, who had been silent and joined in the fun, smiled and said, "Yes, it's him. He is really handsome and extraordinary. He overshadows all the top three candidates."

Xie Nanxing came to this long street today specifically, mainly to see his Shen Jinmo riding a horse and parading through the streets.

As for other things, Xie Nanxing always liked to join in the fun. How could he miss such a lively event that only happens once in several years?

After hearing what Xie Nanxing said, the man who asked the question stared at Xie Nanxing for a long time, as if he had seen a ghost.

He could barely understand why this woman, who had never left the house and didn't know anything about current affairs, was blinded by lust after seeing Shen Jinmo's appearance.

But he really couldn't understand why Xie Nanxing, a very handsome man, praised Shen Jinmo like this.

Another man next to him took the initiative to talk to him, explaining enthusiastically: "Brother, I can tell from the looks of you that you've just arrived in the Capital of Gods. You can't just judge a person by his appearance. Shen Jinmo is a treacherous minister who has killed countless people. He doesn't deserve your compliment."

Although Shen Jinmo himself often said that he was a traitor, and Xie Nanxing would occasionally joke about this, Xie Nanxing felt extremely unhappy when he heard outsiders say this.

As a result, the nature of this just for watching the fun was greatly reduced.

"Ok?"

She had the most gentle face, but suddenly she uttered such an interjection, which actually shocked the man who was speaking.

Because of Xie Nanxing's intention to protect Shen Jinmo, the crowd laughed: "Shen Jinmo is a man who disturbs the court and is crazy. Who in the God's Capital doesn't know this?"

"Yes, yes. Such people are in power now, but they will not have a good ending in the future."

Shen Jinmo, who was originally escorting on horseback, suddenly turned around, his sharp brows revealing a tender smile.

His eyes fell on the blue and white gemstone tied around Shen Jinmo's waist and the golden auspicious cloud pattern embroidered on his ink-colored collar. Xie Nanxing suddenly felt that there was no point in such a tit-for-tat confrontation.

If the people of this divine capital all think that Shen Jinmo is a good person, then Shen Jinmo's black clothes would be in vain.

Xie Nanxing stopped threatening and muttered, "Don't talk nonsense, he is very well-behaved and obedient, he will definitely live a long life."

The people who were closer to Xie Nanxing instantly became dissatisfied.

Given Luoan's current situation, let alone someone speaking for Shen Jinmo, anyone who looks at Shen Jinmo without disdain and hatred will be isolated and cursed by everyone.

"How can you speak for a treacherous official? Do you still want to make a living in the capital of God?"

Xie Nanxing really didn't know that to make a living in the God's City, he had to start by cursing Shen Jinmo.

With a soft smile, Xie Nanxing asked back: "How can you slander my husband like this in front of me? Do you still want to live?"

The crowd gradually retreated, and the originally crowded street left Xie Nanxing with a very spacious space.

Someone guessed Xie Nanxing's identity, and after hesitating, he began to ask back: "You...you are Xie Nanxing?"

Xie Nanxing glanced at the man, and the sword in Lu Bai's hand fell in front of the man, blocking those who wanted to approach but did not dare to.

The crowd scattered like birds and beasts. In front of these people, Xie Nanxing walked calmly towards home.

Obviously, he had no intention of bullying others by taking advantage of his power.

Gradually, other voices were heard among the crowd.

"This Xie Nanxing seems like a nice guy, why did he choose Shen Jinmo?"

"I also think that he is good-looking and is the companion of the Ming King. He may have a bright future. There is really no need to focus on Shen Jinmo, a crooked tree."

Xie Nanxing was dissatisfied and walked quickly to the man: "My husband's neck is not crooked. If you keep talking nonsense, I will let my husband whip you."

After these words were spoken, everyone chose to remain silent.

But the onlookers all felt that only Xie Nanxing, who killed people without blinking an eye, was a match made in heaven for Shen Jinmo.

No, it should be called collusion.

The parade was just halfway through when Xia Yu, who was following the crowd closely, and Shen Jinmo, who was escorting the parade on horseback, were summoned to the palace.

The report on the victory of the first battle in the East Territory was sent back to the Capital today, along with an account book of silver consumption that was personally delivered to Xia Hong by Marquis Zhongqin in the palace, as well as an analysis of the situation of the 50,000 reinforcements from the East Japan.

The good news should be announced to the world immediately so that all civil and military officials and the people of the world can pay homage to Xia Hong's ability to govern the country.

As for the dangerous situations encountered, Xia Hong will make a decision after reviewing the situation.

What can be said and to what extent is an art in officialdom.

Seeing that everyone was present, Xia Hong put down the memorial in his hand.

Eunuch Lin bowed and walked up to Xia Hong, took the letter and held it high.

It was first handed to Shen Jinmo, and after Shen Jinmo had finished reading it, it was handed to Xia Yu, who had now followed Xia Hong into the court to govern the country. Finally, the letter fell into the hands of Xia Ling, who had not been seen for a long time.

Eunuch Lin's actions of prioritizing also showed who was the first person in Xia Hong's heart.

Xia Hong waved his hand slightly, and the former crown prince Xia Ling was the first to break the silence: "Eastern Japan is a small country with extremely scarce supplies. Now they dare to attack our Celestial Empire. They are simply ruthless."

Xia Ling said something that was extremely worthless, but certainly not wrong.

Xia Hong didn't even raise his eyelids: "Xiao Jiu, what do you think?"

Xia Yu bowed to Xia Hong and said, "After the annihilation of the entire army in the previous battle, the Eastern Japanese have reached their peak of revenge and defense. I think their future battles will mainly be naval battles, and the occasional landing will be to rob the people."

"As for the third batch of reinforcements, I think they are already on the way."
